Waste electronics contain harmful substances like lead and mercury, posing serious environmental and health risks. However, e-waste also represents a valuable “urban mine”. It holds an estimated 31 million tons of metals, 17 million tons of plastics, and 14 million tons of glass. One ton of circuit boards (电路板) can contain up to 800 times more precious metals than a ton of gold-bearing rocks in the natural mines. Despite this, less than 1% of rare earth elements are recycled. Recycled e-waste is a valuable resource for sustainable industries. Its metals, e.g. gold and copper, are reused in electronics, vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Recovered plastics find new life in durable products, while glass is processed into building materials. This circular (循环的) approach cuts energy use, reduces mining demand, supporting both the economy and the environment. The e-waste management market is projected to more than double by 2027. While 81 countries have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility laws, collection rates still fall behind policy goals. To improve recycling, governments should strengthen EPR laws, and invest in facilities. Institutions can promote research and public awareness. Individuals should properly drop off e-waste at collection points, mend items rather than throw them away, and support brands with strong environmental commitments. 1. What percentage do screens and cables account for in all e-waste compositions? A. 12%. B. 14%. C. 17%. D. 60%. 2. What is a key advantage of e-waste compared to natural mines? A. It contains more rare elements. B. It provides more recoverable non-metals. C. It can be richer in precious metals. D. It works better as building materials. 3. What is suggested for individuals to help recycle e-waste? A. Invest in formal recycling facilities. B. Launch public awareness campaigns. C. Set clear personal take-back plans. D. Choose repair over replacement. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了电子废弃物的成分占比、危害与回收价值，阐述电子废弃物被称为“城市矿山”的原因，介绍了其回收利用的优势、行业发展现状，并提出改善电子废弃物回收的具体举措。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据数据“Screens (CRT and LCD) (12%)”和“Cables (2%)”，计算可得12%+2%=14%。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One ton of circuit boards can contain up to 800 times more precious metals than a ton of gold-bearing rocks in the natural mines(一吨电路板所含的贵金属含量，最高可达一吨天然含金矿石的800倍)”可知，相比天然矿山，电子废弃物的贵金属含量更高。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Individuals should properly drop off e-waste at collection points, mend items rather than throw them away, and support brands with strong environmental commitments(个人应将电子废弃物投放至指定回收点，修补旧物品而非直接丢弃，支持环保品牌)”可知，个人可以通过维修旧物品、不随意更换新物品助力回收。 B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment. D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’s workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述牛津某小学的校长Tina Farr在学校推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，调整教学环境，促进学生健康发展并取得良好效果的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.”(该校五年级学生（年龄在 9 至 10 岁之间）曾难以在狭小空间里安静坐好，于是她移除了所有家具。“效果立竿见影，十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。”)”可知，Farr为学校带来的改变是灵活的学习环境。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”(Farr长期以来一直倡导游戏的价值，并努力推动游戏融入课间休息时间。“老师们会认可我们所做的事，而且相比常规方法，这种方式并不需要额外的规划。”在为她所带的一年级和二年级学生落实好游戏化学习后，Farr接着开始审视其他方面，试图找出那些行不通的做法并进行改进。“如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展规律，我们为什么还要坚持呢？”)”以及第四段中调整家具后学生专注力和自我调节能力提升的效果可知，Farr推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，主要是为了促进孩子的健康和成长。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”(“效果立竿见影，且十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。” 一位老师这样写道：“孩子们的自我调节能力有了很大提升，他们能更主动地静下心来学习了。”)”可知，新的座位安排（灵活的学习环境）让学生更专注了。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. (六月份，这所学校顺利通过了英国教育标准局（Ofsted）的检查。“检查员完全理解我们的游戏化学习模式。”Farr 表示，她的教学方法是可以推广的。“孩子们的投入程度让我非常惊喜，太了不起了。” 她说。)”可知，该段主要通过学校通过检查、检查员认可、学生进步显著等内容，体现Farr推行的方法的有效性。故选D项。 C Intellectually humble people are able to recognize and admit to the limitations of their knowledge. They tend to be more open-minded, discerning, and respectful of others. This suggests that intellectual humility (谦卑) could be a virtue worth developing, especially in children. In fact, a new study discovered that they already do, from quite a young age. In this study, a diverse group of over 100 four-to-eleven-year-old children were asked how they felt about a humble versus an over-confident adult figure. The children were presented with an ambiguous (模棱两可的) object or word. Then, the children heard two adults answer questions regarding the object or word, including what it was, how sure they were about their identification, and if they were open to it possibly being something else. Each adult initially identified the object or word in the same way. But the humble person said they were “pretty sure” they were right but that the word or object could be something else, while the over-confident person said they were “definitely sure” they were right and it couldn’t be otherwise. After viewing these interviews, the children rated whom they liked more and would rather learn from. By analyzing their responses, the researchers found that children aged five and a half years and older preferred humble people to over-confident people. “This suggests that children as young as five and a half recognize the value of intellectual humility,” says researcher Shauna Bowes of Vanderbilt University. Bowes’s finding suggests that children could benefit from adults modeling intellectual humility at younger ages. For example, elementary school teachers could express uncertainty in situations where the answer isn’t clear, nudging kids toward staying open and digging deeper into ambiguous topics. Similarly, parents could model humility with their young children, encouraging them to tackle complex problems. Bowes hopes that when adults model intellectual humility, children learn that no one has all of the answers. “There is power in saying ‘I’m not entirely sure and my knowledge is fallible, and so is yours. But we can come together and talk’,” says Bowes. “I think the earlier kids learn to do this, the better.” 8. What is a difference between the two adult figures? A. The kids viewing their interviews. B. The object or word they identified. C. Their initial way to identify an object. D. Their attitude to their identification. 9. What might be concluded according to the new study? A. Over-confidence gives rise to misunderstandings. B. Young children prefer people acting with humility. C. Humble people are bound to learn more from others. D. Children are fairly insensitive to intellectual humility. 10. What does the word “nudging” underlined in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Controlling. B. Following. C. Motivating. D. Judging. 11. What message does Bowes deliver in the last paragraph? A. Discussion doesn’t always lead to certainty. B. Hiding one’s ignorance helps maintain authority. C. Knowledgeable people are eager to share resources. D. It’s necessary to admit to one’s knowledge limitations. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现，5岁半以上儿童更偏爱智识谦逊而非自负的成人，表明从小培养智识谦逊的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But the humble person said they were “pretty sure” they were right but that the word or object could be something else, while the over-confident person said they were “definitely sure” they were right and it couldn’t be otherwise. (但那位谦逊的人表示，他们“相当肯定”自己是对的，但这个词语或物品也有可能是别的东西；而那位过于自信的人则表示，他们“绝对肯定”自己是对的，不可能有其他情况。)”可知，两名成年人对同一模糊事物的初步判断相同，但谦卑者表示“相当确定（pretty sure）”且接受其他可能性，自负者声称“绝对肯定（definitely sure）”且拒绝其他可能，故差异在于对自己的判断的态度。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“By analyzing their responses, the researchers found that children aged five and a half years and older preferred humble people to over-confident people. (通过对他们的回答进行分析，研究人员发现，五岁半及以上的儿童更倾向于喜欢谦逊的人，而非过于自信的人。)”可知，根据研究可知，小孩子更喜欢谦逊的人。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“For example, elementary school teachers could express uncertainty in situations where the answer isn’t clear, nudging kids toward staying open and digging deeper into ambiguous topics. (例如，小学教师在面对答案不明确的情况时，可以表现出不确定的态度，nudging学生保持开放的心态，并深入探讨那些模糊不清的话题。)”和下句“Similarly, parents could model humility with their young children, encouraging them to tackle complex problems. (同样地，父母可以在年幼的孩子面前树立谦逊的榜样，鼓励他们去解决复杂的问题。)”可知，nudging与下句中的encouraging意思一致，表示“鼓励、激励”。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Bowes hopes that when adults model intellectual humility, children learn that no one has all of the answers. “There is power in saying ‘I’m not entirely sure and my knowledge is fallible, and so is yours. But we can come together and talk’,” says Bowes. “I think the earlier kids learn to do this, the better.” (鲍斯希望，当成年人展现出求知谦逊时，孩子们就明白了没有人能掌握所有答案。“可以说‘我并不完全确定，我的知识也是有缺陷的，所以你们的知识也是如此。但我们可以一起交流探讨’，”鲍斯说道。“我认为孩子们越早学会这样做越好。”)”可知，鲍斯认为承认自身认知的局限性是非常必要的。故选D。 D For decades, Khoji Wesselius, living in a Dutch farming village, has noticed the distinct smell of pesticides during spraying (喷洒) seasons. Now, after volunteering in an experiment to count how many such substances people are exposed to, he was shocked to find he had exposure to eight different pesticides through his skin. Regulators closely monitor dietary intake of pesticides when deciding whether they are safe enough for the market, but little attention has been paid to the effects of breathing them in or absorbing them through the skin. According to a new study conducted by Radboud University, even people who live far from farms are exposed to several different types of pesticides from non-dietary sources. “What’s most surprising is that we cannot avoid exposure to pesticides in our direct environment,” said Paul Scheepers, a co-author of the study. “The real question is how much is taken up by the body.” The researchers got 641 participants in 10 European countries to wear wristbands continuously for one week to capture external exposure to 193 pesticides. In laboratory tests, they detected 173 of the substances they tested for, with pesticides found in every wristband and an average of 20 substances for every person who took part. Non-organic farmers had the highest number of pesticides in their wristbands, followed by organic farmers and people who live near farms. Consumers living far from farms had the fewest. While the presence of pesticides in the wristbands does not indicate direct health effects, the authors voiced concern about the number of different types. Researchers have suggested that some mixtures of different chemicals intensify their effects on the human body beyond what studies of individual exposure find. However, the study doesn’t determine how much of these substances actually enter the body. “I’ve asked myself, was it worth it to know all this?” said Wesselius, who says farmers in his village do not seem to consider the wind direction when applying pesticides. “It’s remaining in the back of my mind. Every time I see pesticide spraying, I see how unaware they are of the harm it can cause.” 12. What is the real problem in the study according to Scheepers? A. The types of pesticides. B. How pesticides smell. C. How much pesticide the body absorbs. D. The source of pesticides. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly show? A. Wristbands are effective. B. Participants are equally exposed. C. Pesticide exposure varies across groups. D. Organic food avoids pesticide exposure. 14. What does Wesselius express in the last paragraph? A. Gratitude. B. Powerlessness. C. Curiosity. D. Calmness. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Damages Caused by Pesticides. B. Pesticide Risks and Regulations. C. Widespread Pesticide Exposure. D. Ways to Fight Pesticide Exposure. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项欧洲研究发现人们会通过非饮食途径接触多种农药，阐述研究过程与结果，同时指出相关潜在问题及人们对此的态度。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What’s most surprising is that we cannot avoid exposure to pesticides in our direct environment,” said Paul Scheepers, a co-author of the study. “The real question is how much is taken up by the body.”(该研究的合著者保罗·斯海珀斯说：“最令人惊讶的是，我们无法避免在周边环境中接触到农药，而真正的问题是人体会吸收多少农药。”)可知，斯海珀斯认为这项研究中真正的问题是人体吸收农药的量有多少。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Non-organic farmers had the highest number of pesticides in their wristbands, followed by organic farmers and people who live near farms. Consumers living far from farms had the fewest.(非有机农场主的腕带中检测出的农药种类最多，其次是有机农场主和住在农场附近的人，住在远离农场的消费者检测出的农药种类最少。)”可知，第三段主要表明不同人群接触农药的程度存在差异。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I’ve asked myself, was it worth it to know all this?” said Wesselius, who says farmers in his village do not seem to consider the wind direction when applying pesticides. “It’s remaining in the back of my mind. Every time I see pesticide spraying, I see how unaware they are of the harm it can cause.”(维塞柳斯说：“我曾问自己，知道这一切值得吗？”他表示村里的农场主喷洒农药时似乎从不考虑风向。“这些事一直萦绕在我心头，每次看到喷洒农药的场景，我都能看到他们对其潜在的危害一无所知。”)可知，维塞柳斯知晓农药的危害，却看到农场主们对此毫不在意，能体现出他内心的无力感。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“According to a new study conducted by Radboud University, even people who live far from farms are exposed to several different types of pesticides from non-dietary sources.(根据拉德堡德大学的一项新研究，即便是住在远离农场的人，也会通过非饮食途径接触到多种不同类型的农药。)”以及第三段中的“In laboratory tests, they detected 173 of the substances they tested for, with pesticides found in every wristband and an average of 20 substances for every person who took part.(在实验室检测中，研究人员在检测的物质中发现了173种农药，每个腕带中都检测出了农药，每位参与者平均接触20种农药。)”可知，文章核心围绕研究发现人们广泛接触农药这一内容展开，所以，“农药的广泛接触”最贴合主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. ____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips. D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了短视频学习对学生的利弊，分析了短视频学习流行的原因、潜在弊端，并指出短视频应作为传统学习的补充而非替代。 【16题详解】 由上文“Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. (如今，许多学生承认他们的第一本能是打开短视频应用。)”以及下文“And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? (关键在于：虽然短视频让信息变得容易获取，但学生们是真的在学习还是只是在滚屏？)”可知，本空要说学生们对短视频学习的认知，D选项“To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. (对他们来说，这些视频不仅娱乐，而且感觉像是在学习。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“To them”指代上文的“many students”，且该选项中的“feel like learning”与下文的“are students actually learning”形成呼应和质疑，表示学生们自以为在学习，但实际情况可能并非如此。 【17题详解】 由上文“Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. (短视频还将空闲时间，比如等公交车，转化为学习机会。)”以及下文“However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. (然而，每一个优点都有一个学生常常感受到却不一定意识到的隐藏的弊端。)”可知，本空要说短视频融入日常生活的便利性，B选项“This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. (这使视频学习轻松融入日常生活。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This”指代上文的“turn idle time...into learning opportunities”，且该选项中的“fit easily into daily life”总结了短视频学习的便利性，与下文的“However”形成转折，引出弊端。 【18题详解】 由上文“Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through.

The village was beautiful — green hills, clean streams, air so fresh you could taste it. As a boy, Oren woke to the chirping of robins and the smell of damp earth. He spent afternoons wading in the creek, picking blackberries, and catching fireflies in old jam jars at dusk. But Hollow Creek had a problem. The only road out was narrow and full of pits. No bus came through. And one by one, the young people left, leaving the elderly behind and letting the fields go unused. Oren was raised by his grandmother, and like so many from the village, he left for college and never planned to move back. After graduation, Oren landed a job at a marketing firm in Clarksville, four hours away. He learned social media advertising, email campaigns, and his specialty — live selling. The pay was decent, his apartment had central air, and his coworkers thought he was funny. By all accounts, he was doing fine. Still, every time he called his grandmother, she had the same story. “The peaches are beautiful this year,” she’d say. “But nobody to sell them to. We’re just watching them rot!” The old folks still farmed, but without a way to reach customers, their harvest went to waste. One August, Oren drove back for a long weekend. On the dirt path to his grandmother’s house, he passed table after table of unsold produce: peaches so ripe they almost glowed, crisp heads of lettuce, jars of wild berry jam. Old men sat on upturned buckets, saying nothing, their gazes empty. Women fanned themselves on porches, their tired eyes betraying a quiet despair. A few cars passed, but no one stopped. Oren stood there for a minute, staring at a rotting peach on the ground. Then, without any dramatic flash of light, he knew what he had to do. He had the skills. They had the goods. The only thing missing was a bridge. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a clear plan in mind, Oren quit his job and started his work to help the villagers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Oren’s efforts paid off, great changes took place in the village. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： With a clear plan in mind, Oren quit his job and started his work to help the villagers. He converted his grandmother’s unused room into a simple live-streaming studio and patiently taught elderly farmers to showcase their fresh peaches, crisp lettuce and fragrant wild berry jam in a natural way. Drawing on his professional marketing skills, he optimized vivid online posts, built a reliable local delivery network and hosted night live streams to match urban customers’ schedules. Though some villagers doubted his new method at first, his continuous efforts and promising results gradually won their trust, turning their previously rotting harvests into steady income. As Oren’s efforts paid off, great changes took place in the village. The lonely dirt path was improved, and a regular bus route finally ended the village’s long-time isolation. Many young villagers chose to return home, bringing new ideas to develop various value-added local products. Abandoned fields were fully reclaimed and covered with thriving crops. The once quiet village turned warm and lively. Oren’s grandmother often watched the vibrant scene joyfully, deeply thankful that Oren had built a solid bridge between traditional village farming and modern digital sales. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Oren离开山村到城市工作，看到家乡农产品滞销、村民生活困顿后，利用自己的直播销售技能帮助村民，最终带动村子发展的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Oren搭建直播间、教村民直播、利用专业技能打开销路、赢得村民信任的过程。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Oren的努力带来村落交通、人力、农业风貌的巨大改变，实现乡村振兴。 2.续写线索：辞职返乡——搭建直播渠道——打开农产品销路——村庄焕然一新——乡村振兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①改造：convert/transform ②展示：showcase/display/present 情绪类 ①喜悦地：joyfully/happily/delightedly/cheerfully ②感激的：thankful/grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】Drawing on his professional marketing skills, he optimized vivid online posts, built a reliable local delivery network and hosted night live streams to match urban customers’ schedules.

It holds an estimated 31 million tons of metals, 17 million tons of plastics, and 14 million tons of glass. One ton of circuit boards (电路板) can contain up to 800 times more precious metals than a ton of gold-bearing rocks in the natural mines. Despite this, less than 1% of rare earth elements are recycled. Recycled e-waste is a valuable resource for sustainable industries. Its metals, e.g. gold and copper, are reused in electronics, vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Recovered plastics find new life in durable products, while glass is processed into building materials. This circular (循环的) approach cuts energy use, reduces mining demand, supporting both the economy and the environment. The e-waste management market is projected to more than double by 2027. While 81 countries have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility laws, collection rates still fall behind policy goals. To improve recycling, governments should strengthen EPR laws, and invest in facilities. Institutions can promote research and public awareness. Individuals should properly drop off e-waste at collection points, mend items rather than throw them away, and support brands with strong environmental commitments. 1. What percentage do screens and cables account for in all e-waste compositions? A. 12%. B. 14%. C. 17%. D. 60%. 2. What is a key advantage of e-waste compared to natural mines? A. It contains more rare elements. B. It provides more recoverable non-metals. C. It can be richer in precious metals. D. It works better as building materials. 3. What is suggested for individuals to help recycle e-waste? A. Invest in formal recycling facilities. B. Launch public awareness campaigns. C. Set clear personal take-back plans. D. Choose repair over replacement. B When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 4. What change does Farr bring to her school? A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments. C. Upgraded equipment. D. Diverse outdoor games. 5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A. To reduce teacher’s workload． B. To enhance the school’s reputation. C. To improve students’ academic results. D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A. More focused. B. More energetic. C. More self-centred． D. More courageous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A. Its theory. B. Its challenge. C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness. C Intellectually humble people are able to recognize and admit to the limitations of their knowledge. They tend to be more open-minded, discerning, and respectful of others. This suggests that intellectual humility (谦卑) could be a virtue worth developing, especially in children. In fact, a new study discovered that they already do, from quite a young age. In this study, a diverse group of over 100 four-to-eleven-year-old children were asked how they felt about a humble versus an over-confident adult figure. The children were presented with an ambiguous (模棱两可的) object or word. Then, the children heard two adults answer questions regarding the object or word, including what it was, how sure they were about their identification, and if they were open to it possibly being something else. Each adult initially identified the object or word in the same way. But the humble person said they were “pretty sure” they were right but that the word or object could be something else, while the over-confident person said they were “definitely sure” they were right and it couldn’t be otherwise. After viewing these interviews, the children rated whom they liked more and would rather learn from. By analyzing their responses, the researchers found that children aged five and a half years and older preferred humble people to over-confident people. “This suggests that children as young as five and a half recognize the value of intellectual humility,” says researcher Shauna Bowes of Vanderbilt University. Bowes’s finding suggests that children could benefit from adults modeling intellectual humility at younger ages. For example, elementary school teachers could express uncertainty in situations where the answer isn’t clear, nudging kids toward staying open and digging deeper into ambiguous topics. Similarly, parents could model humility with their young children, encouraging them to tackle complex problems. Bowes hopes that when adults model intellectual humility, children learn that no one has all of the answers. “There is power in saying ‘I’m not entirely sure and my knowledge is fallible, and so is yours. But we can come together and talk’,” says Bowes. “I think the earlier kids learn to do this, the better.” 8. What is a difference between the two adult figures? A. The kids viewing their interviews. B. The object or word they identified. C. Their initial way to identify an object. D. Their attitude to their identification. 9. What might be concluded according to the new study? A. Over-confidence gives rise to misunderstandings. B. Young children prefer people acting with humility. C. Humble people are bound to learn more from others. D. Children are fairly insensitive to intellectual humility. 10. What does the word “nudging” underlined in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Controlling. B. Following. C. Motivating. D. Judging. 11. What message does Bowes deliver in the last paragraph? A. Discussion doesn’t always lead to certainty. B. Hiding one’s ignorance helps maintain authority. C. Knowledgeable people are eager to share resources. D. It’s necessary to admit to one’s knowledge limitations. D For decades, Khoji Wesselius, living in a Dutch farming village, has noticed the distinct smell of pesticides during spraying (喷洒) seasons. Now, after volunteering in an experiment to count how many such substances people are exposed to, he was shocked to find he had exposure to eight different pesticides through his skin. Regulators closely monitor dietary intake of pesticides when deciding whether they are safe enough for the market, but little attention has been paid to the effects of breathing them in or absorbing them through the skin. According to a new study conducted by Radboud University, even people who live far from farms are exposed to several different types of pesticides from non-dietary sources. “What’s most surprising is that we cannot avoid exposure to pesticides in our direct environment,” said Paul Scheepers, a co-author of the study. “The real question is how much is taken up by the body.” The researchers got 641 participants in 10 European countries to wear wristbands continuously for one week to capture external exposure to 193 pesticides. In laboratory tests, they detected 173 of the substances they tested for, with pesticides found in every wristband and an average of 20 substances for every person who took part. Non-organic farmers had the highest number of pesticides in their wristbands, followed by organic farmers and people who live near farms. Consumers living far from farms had the fewest. While the presence of pesticides in the wristbands does not indicate direct health effects, the authors voiced concern about the number of different types. Researchers have suggested that some mixtures of different chemicals intensify their effects on the human body beyond what studies of individual exposure find. However, the study doesn’t determine how much of these substances actually enter the body. “I’ve asked myself, was it worth it to know all this?” said Wesselius, who says farmers in his village do not seem to consider the wind direction when applying pesticides. “It’s remaining in the back of my mind. Every time I see pesticide spraying, I see how unaware they are of the harm it can cause.” 12. What is the real problem in the study according to Scheepers? A. The types of pesticides. B. How pesticides smell. C. How much pesticide the body absorbs. D. The source of pesticides. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly show? A. Wristbands are effective. B. Participants are equally exposed. C. Pesticide exposure varies across groups. D. Organic food avoids pesticide exposure. 14. What does Wesselius express in the last paragraph? A. Gratitude. B. Powerlessness. C. Curiosity. D. Calmness. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Damages Caused by Pesticides. B. Pesticide Risks and Regulations. C. Widespread Pesticide Exposure. D. Ways to Fight Pesticide Exposure. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____16____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____17____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____18____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____19____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. ____20____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips. D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 第三部分语言知识与运用(共三节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Dr. James Leong is an eye doctor in Wellington.

The village was beautiful — green hills, clean streams, air so fresh you could taste it. As a boy, Oren woke to the chirping of robins and the smell of damp earth. He spent afternoons wading in the creek, picking blackberries, and catching fireflies in old jam jars at dusk. But Hollow Creek had a problem. The only road out was narrow and full of pits. No bus came through. And one by one, the young people left, leaving the elderly behind and letting the fields go unused. Oren was raised by his grandmother, and like so many from the village, he left for college and never planned to move back. After graduation, Oren landed a job at a marketing firm in Clarksville, four hours away. He learned social media advertising, email campaigns, and his specialty — live selling. The pay was decent, his apartment had central air, and his coworkers thought he was funny. By all accounts, he was doing fine. Still, every time he called his grandmother, she had the same story. “The peaches are beautiful this year,” she’d say. “But nobody to sell them to. We’re just watching them rot!” The old folks still farmed, but without a way to reach customers, their harvest went to waste. One August, Oren drove back for a long weekend. On the dirt path to his grandmother’s house, he passed table after table of unsold produce: peaches so ripe they almost glowed, crisp heads of lettuce, jars of wild berry jam. Old men sat on upturned buckets, saying nothing, their gazes empty. Women fanned themselves on porches, their tired eyes betraying a quiet despair. A few cars passed, but no one stopped. Oren stood there for a minute, staring at a rotting peach on the ground. Then, without any dramatic flash of light, he knew what he had to do. He had the skills. They had the goods. The only thing missing was a bridge. 注意： 1．续写词数应为 150 左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With a clear plan in mind, Oren quit his job and started his work to help the villagers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Oren’s efforts paid off, great changes took place in the village. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $Syria, why have you written another romantic novel?

I was standing in front of the second national bank building at about eight fifty AM. I saw a small red car heading for the crossroads of churchill avenue and york road. IT was coming towards me, a long churchill avenue at about forty miles per hour. The traffic lights on york road change to Green, and a delivery Lorry began to move forward at about five miles per hour. The driver of the car probably didn't see that his traffic light had changed from orange to red and ran into the side of the Lorry. That's correct. Now, mrs.
